Notts rebels in row
NZPA-AFP Nottingham, England The former England batsmen, Chris Broad and Tim Robinson, were involved in a heated row yesterday as Nottinghamshire prepared for the Refuge Assurance Cup cricket semi-final against Lancashire. The South African-bound “rebel” tourists had an angry exchange of words only a short distance from where their team-mates were practising for the play-off game. Broad could be omitted from the Notts side for the semi-final, but the team manager, Ken Taylor, would not confirm this was the cause of the row. “There was a disagreement on a matter of policy,” he said. “Tim and Chris had different views on the subject.” This latest row follows the dressing room unrest at Nottinghamshire last year which resulted in Robinson threatening to resign from the captaincy. He was eventually persuaded to continue, but Broad, identified as the chief protagonist, was suspended for two matches.
